On the part between San Antonio de las Cobres and Cachi, of the mythic Route 40, we pass at the Abra del Acay, altitude 4895m above sea level
Breathtaking landscapes all the way up and down !
I can't help myself from smiling when I think that I'm in short pants and T shirt 100m above the Mont Blanc, roof of Europe !
Nevado del Acay, the summit at left is at 5950m

Hello Patrick,
this landscape doesn't have neither trees not rivers to add some life to it, yet it is amazingly beautiful. The barren lands with all its pastel colors looks like some kind of painting the nature decided one day to create. I like how the shades of brown and yellow tones on the hills make pretty mosaic. Good POV and elegant composition with some tufts of grass providing foreground.
Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day

Salut Patrick
A big jump from SE Asia to South America! I can see you're going back to your Argentina trip last autumn. I like this parched landscape with a whole palette of colours from faint green to rusty red. It contrasts nicely with the blue sky.
Actually, going back to the my first comment - it does remind me of Kyrgyzstan so in a way it's not so far Asia after all... :-)
Bonne journee

Colors & tones, even the shrubs remind me of northern Chile but I guess the border imposed by humans doesn't make the difference for the nature... You captured everything so true with great sharpness and clearness... I do like it...

Hi Patrick
A fantastic view of the barren land formation in the late afternoon light, mass of detail and textures seen from great view point with excellent scale reference and extensive depth too. Credit to your ability to capture the grandeur, vividness of colors and warmness feel with nice shades and shadows. Touch of deep blue sky finishes off so stunningly. A thoughtful work and a seamless result, simply breath taking but above all I adore the smoothness of the distant mountains. Congrats
Best regards
